Landscape from Italy

This was my first attempt at any sort of landscape painting while I was in Italy. I never finished it because I found out I wasn't painting it how the teacher wanted me to paint it. He was trying to get me to paint more direct. Well, I tried to fix the problem by painting more directly into what I already had, but I didn't really like how it was looking. So, I stopped this one and went on to something more simple to practice on.
